Founding Membership Capped · Waitlist & Intake RequiredSame vetted driver every time. Parent confirmation on every ride.
Call to Check Availability — (858) 522-0264 View Monthly Plans ↓Direct answer: Private student transportation in San Diego is legal for under-18 riders only through a licensed charter-party carrier — rideshare platform policies (Uber, Lyft) require unaccompanied riders to be 18 or older. Elite Green Transportation operates under CPUC license TCP #0046494-A with commercial insurance, assigns one named, background-checked driver per family, and texts the parent at pickup and arrival on every leg. Routes are quoted personally by the owner — there is no published school-run rate; as an anchor, single-zone runs typically land around the $65 zone rate and two-zone runs around $80, per run, siblings together on one rate.
TL;DR: Licensed & insured for minors · same driver every run, introduced by name · pickup + arrival texts · owner-quoted, terms in writing · car seats parent-supplied and parent-installed (CVC §27360) · weekly school-run & after-school routes here.
Built for Families Who Understand What Changes When a Student Leaves Home
This isn't a ride service. It's a controlled safety layer for your child's life when you're no longer there to manage it.
EGT's private student transportation is for families with students at UCSD, SDSU, or USD who want a known, vetted provider covering the situations that matter — not an anonymous contractor matched by an algorithm.
Service is coordinated daily to align with real-time needs and ensure consistent coverage across all enrolled families. The experience is seamless by design — your student does not have to think about whether a ride is available. That is already handled.
Airport & Station Transportation
Semester breaks, holiday travel, early departures, late arrivals — coordinated cleanly, confirmed in advance.
Late-Night Coverage
A vetted, known driver available when your student needs to get home — with no uncertainty about who is showing up.
Friend Group Coverage
In real college environments, students rarely travel alone. This service is structured to ensure your child — and the people they're with — get home safely.
Out-of-State Families
When you cannot be present, knowing your student has a named, trusted transportation contact is a concrete form of peace of mind.
What Changes When a Student Leaves Home
Parents have visibility when their children are home. Routines are predictable. Decisions are observable. That changes the moment a student moves to campus — and it does not return on its own.
Rideshare platforms offer access, not consistency. They do not offer known drivers, guaranteed availability, or any visibility to the family. Late-night and group situations add variables that on-demand services are not structured to manage.
EGT exists for families who recognize this gap and want it closed — not with an app, but with a professional, controlled transportation relationship.
Parental Visibility Ends at Drop-Off
Students make independent decisions in unfamiliar environments. Transportation is one of the highest-risk variables in that equation.
Rideshare Is Inconsistent by Design
On-demand platforms match strangers. Availability fluctuates. There is no relationship, no familiarity, and no accountability to the family.
Group Situations Require Structured Coverage
Late-night and social transportation rarely involves just one person. A service built for individuals will not reliably cover the situations that require a group solution.
This Service Removes That Uncertainty
A known driver. A premium vehicle. A coordinator your family can reach. One consistent answer for the situations you cannot control from a distance.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2023 approximately 33 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities in California involved a driver with a blood alcohol concentration at or above the legal limit — representing 1,355 lives lost in the state that year.

Every tier includes EGT's core framework: background-verified drivers, premium vehicles, and dedicated family coordination. All plans are month-to-month and quoted personally — every family's semester looks different, and one intake call sets your plan and rate.

Visiting Family Transportation
Service can also be extended to visiting family members, including airport and station pickups, with advance coordination. Available across Plus and Full tiers, and with coordination on Essentials.
Enrollment is reviewed per family to confirm service area and schedule alignment. Additional rides beyond monthly limits are available at a per-ride rate. Tier adjustments can be made with reasonable notice.
What Families Can Expect from Every Ride
This is not a better version of a rideshare app. It is a different category of service entirely — defined by known relationships, controlled enrollment, and consistent delivery.
Background-Verified Drivers
Every EGT driver undergoes thorough screening before joining the fleet. Families are never matched with anonymous contractors from a rotating pool.
Premium, Maintained Vehicles
EGT operates late-model premium vehicles maintained to a consistent standard — not personal cars used for supplemental income.
Consistent Driver Relationships
Driver assignments are maintained wherever possible. Your student is not meeting someone new each time. That consistency is intentional and structural.
Parent-Level Coordination
Families have direct access to an EGT coordinator — not an app interface. Scheduling and adjustments are handled through a professional relationship, not a queue.
Controlled Driver Availability
Service is structured to ensure consistent driver availability through coordinated scheduling and controlled enrollment. Coverage is not left to chance or volume.
San Diego Local Expertise
EGT drivers know San Diego's campuses, neighborhoods, and airport routing. Local knowledge means on-time, seamless service — especially when it matters most.
A Deliberate Process. A Consistent Result.
EGT's student service is not open to the public. A brief intake process confirms fit before a monthly relationship is established.
Submit an Inquiry
Share your student's campus, typical needs, and any priorities. No obligation at this stage.
Intake Consultation
An EGT coordinator confirms availability in your service area and walks through the right tier for your family's situation.
Enrollment and Driver Introduction
EGT establishes your student's profile, assigns a primary driver, and introduces your family to their dedicated coordinator.
Ongoing Monthly Service
Your service runs month-to-month. Families have direct coordinator access, and tier adjustments are handled without friction as needs evolve.
EGT's private student transportation is deliberately capped to a small founding cohort to maintain the standard the service requires. This is not a scalable product — it is a controlled, high-touch relationship. When the founding cohort fills, families join a timestamped waitlist and are invited in order as capacity opens.
Enrollment requires a waitlist inquiry and a brief intake conversation to confirm service area fit and mutual expectations. Families are accepted on a schedule-compatible basis, not first-come-first-served alone.
Current availability is limited. Inquiries are reviewed in the order received.
Verify the Structure, Not the Marketing
Every claim above is checkable: EGT’s charter-party license TCP #0046494-A is on the California Public Utilities Commission public carrier lookup, its commercial insurance is a standing CPUC requirement of that license, and the fleet (BMW i7, Rivian R1S, Cadillac Escalade IQ-L — 100% electric) is the same fleet on every page of this site. For weekly school and activity routes, see the school-run & after-school service; for unaccompanied airport pickups, the teen & minor transportation protocol.
The California difference: Uber suspended its teen-account service in California in December 2024 rather than meet the CPUC’s fingerprint background-check requirement for transporting unaccompanied minors, and Lyft requires riders to be 18. In San Diego, no rideshare app may carry an unaccompanied rider under 18 at any age. The full breakdown, every source, and a monthly cost calculator: Can my teen take an Uber in San Diego? →

If You Are Considering This Service, Inquire Early.
Enrollment openings are infrequent, and the calendar is the reason: EGT's small all-electric fleet is the same one that sells out San Diego's event calendar — twelve dates are fully booked as of July 11 — and August/September move-in weekends at UCSD, SDSU and USD stack airport pickups, luggage runs and campus drops into the same few days. Families who inquire before move-in season are placed first. A brief conversation is all that is needed to determine whether EGT is the right fit for your family.
